Standardizes the Ruby requirement and CI across the test-kitchen org.

Changes

  • Ruby requirement: required_ruby_version = ">= 3.1" in the gemspec.
  • .rubocop.yml: standardized on cookstyle/chefstyle with TargetRubyVersion: 3.1, matching test-kitchen. Many repos still required the standalone chefstyle gem, which no longer loads — cookstyle could not run at all before this.
  • CI: unit tests on 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 4.0; cookstyle --chefstyle on 3.1.
  • Bundler: added the cookstyle group where missing, so bundle exec cookstyle resolves in CI.
  • Cookstyle: applied cookstyle --chefstyle -a autocorrections; cookstyle --chefstyle is now clean.
  • Dead linters removed where present (cane, tailor, finstyle, standalone chefstyle). These are unmaintained and fail on modern Ruby (cane calls File.exists?, removed in Ruby 4.0; tailor needs ostruct, no longer a default gem). Cookstyle supersedes them.

Comment/config changes plus mechanical style autocorrections; no intentional behavior changes.

- Set required_ruby_version to ">= 3.1" in the gemspec
- Standardize .rubocop.yml on cookstyle/chefstyle with TargetRubyVersion 3.1
  (the standalone `chefstyle` gem no longer loads, which broke linting)
- Run unit tests on every Ruby release from 3.1 to 4.0 and run
  cookstyle --chefstyle on Ruby 3.1
- Add the cookstyle bundler group where it was missing so
  `bundle exec cookstyle` resolves in CI
- Apply cookstyle --chefstyle autocorrections
- Drop dead linters (cane, tailor, finstyle, standalone chefstyle) that
  are superseded by cookstyle and fail on modern Ruby

- Add the standard .markdownlint.yaml / .yamllint configs where missing
  (repos without them fell back to strict defaults and failed CI)
- Exclude CHANGELOG files from markdown-lint in the shared workflow, matching
  test-kitchen; generated changelogs cannot satisfy the rules and are rewritten
  on each release
- Fix real YAML indentation (sequences must be indented under their key);
  verified the parsed YAML is unchanged
- Remove dead .travis.yml / appveyor.yml configs, which were also the main
  yamllint offenders
- README cleanup: drop obsolete <a name="..."></a> heading anchors and dead
  travis-ci.org badges, modernize .png badge URLs, fix heading levels, add
  code-fence languages, repair broken lists, strip trailing whitespace

guard-cane pulls in cane, which calls File.exists? -- removed in Ruby 4.0 --
so it broke the test run on the new matrix. guard-rubocop and the pinned
chefstyle group drag an old rubocop into resolution, which resolved cookstyle
down to 7.x where "cookstyle --chefstyle" is not a valid option.

Cookstyle supersedes all of these.

Also drop the comment describing the version-pinned style libraries, since
those dependencies are gone, and collapse the blank lines left behind.

- Drop the chefstyle bundler group / dev dependency. chefstyle pins an old
  rubocop, which resolves cookstyle down to 7.x where "cookstyle --chefstyle"
  is not a valid option. Cookstyle supersedes it.
- Remove .cane config files; cane is unmaintained and calls File.exists?,
  removed in Ruby 4.0
- Remove the bundler dev dependency; bundler ships with Ruby and pinning it
  only constrains resolution
- Add the gem version badge to READMEs that were missing one

tas50 force-pushed the ruby-3.1-ci-modernization branch from 7413c96 to e220887 Compare August 22, 2026 05:28
tas50 and others added 5 commits August 21, 2026 22:52
- Remove countloc and the stats/loc rake tasks it backed; the gem is
  unmaintained and the tasks only printed line counts
- Remove the remaining cane and tailor dependencies (cane calls File.exists?,
  removed in Ruby 4.0; tailor needs ostruct, no longer a default gem)
- busser: drop the aruba `unescape` helper, removed in aruba 1.x, so the
  cucumber steps run again
- busser-cucumber: unpin aruba and cucumber and move to the aruba 2.x config API
- Give kitchen-cloudstack and kitchen-opennebula a test task so `rake test`
  resolves

- Declare rake in the Gemfile's :test group. Gemspec development dependencies
  land in bundler's :development group, which CI excludes via
  BUNDLE_WITHOUT=development, so `bundle exec rake` failed with
  "can't find executable rake for gem rake"
- Relax dev dependency pins that require Ruby >= 3.2 (minitest 6,
  pry-byebug 3.12); bundler resolves the whole Gemfile even for a single
  group, so these broke the Ruby 3.1 matrix entry outright
- kitchen-opennebula: depend on fog-opennebula instead of the fog metagem,
  which pulls fog-ovirt -> ovirt-engine-sdk and fails to build
- guard-kitchen: read the version in the gemspec without loading the library,
  which requires guard and is unavailable while bundler evaluates the gemspec

- Pin cucumber to the 9.x line. cucumber 10.2.0 raises NoMethodError from its
  own formatter (group.children is nil), which failed the feature runs
- kitchen-rackspace: cap fog-core below 2.3. fog-rackspace 0.1.6 registers a
  service literally named "CDN v2", and fog-core 2.3+ passes that through
  const_defined?, which rejects it as an invalid constant name, so
  `require "fog/rackspace"` raised NameError and no examples could load

- Use `gemspec development_group: :test`. Gemspec development dependencies
  otherwise land in bundler's :development group, which CI excludes via
  BUNDLE_WITHOUT=development, so rspec/fakefs/rake were missing at runtime
- Add base64 where cucumber 9.x needs it; it is no longer a default gem on
  Ruby 4.0
- kitchen-opennebula: fog-opennebula's latest release is 0.0.5, so ">= 0.1"
  could never resolve
- kitchen-rackspace: port the driver off Kitchen::Driver::SSHBase, removed in
  test-kitchen 4.x, and wait via the configured transport instead

AllCops/Include pinned the file list to **/*.rb, which quietly excluded the
gemspec, Gemfile and Rakefile -- cookstyle reported success while never
looking at them. Dropping the Include list restores cookstyle's own defaults,
which cover those files, and the offenses that surfaced are autocorrected here.
